Just for You (Men)

Hello again.  Wow I am doing so well in keeping up with posting, long may it continue.  I thought I would make another card suitable for the men in our lives because I always find it so difficult.

I took a 6" x 6" card and matted it with Creative Expressions Foundation Card (Cobalt) and a white pierced edged card.  I then took some more Cobalt coloured card and centred the large cutting die from the Sue Wilson California Collection - San Fransisco die and ran it though the Grand Calibur.

I then embossed this card with the Die'Sire Picnic Plaid embossing folding. The card was then foam mounted onto the base card.  I cut the largest decorative die from the same die set in Cobalt coloured card and recessed into the aperture created on the embossed card using spray glue.

 

I then cut the smallest decorative die in white and attached as shown.

I stamped the sentiment onto to some more white card and cut it out with the smallest die and before removing it from the die inked it with some Stormy Sky Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

 

I cut some corners using the Spellbinders Parisian Accents and completed the card by adding some black pearls

I hope you like it.  Thanks for visiting.

One for the men

I have been away from this blog for far too long due to life becoming hectic.  I am now intending to post at least once a week so here goes with my latest contribution.

I always find making cards for men very difficult but Sue Wilson has got the answer with her Heraldic Square die.

I used pearlised card in colours brown and silver, embossing the silver card with Picnic Plaid embossing folder by Die'sire.

I then cut out 2 Heraldic Squares and set them together using foam pads before stamping and embossing the sentiment onto brown card and placing in the middle of the Heraldic Square before placing it into the centre of the card.  Four corners where then placed in each corner.

Completed card measures 7" x 7"

Happy crafting.x
